installing xp with service pack 2

hello
i have a new motherboard that im going to install on my PC, after its installed i will probably have to remormat the hard-drive and reinstall xp, my machine currently has an OEM xp that came only with service pack 1

i have a windows xp disk with service pack 2 included, if i install this version - would i have problems activating it?

my oem version is old - but i still have the sticker etc on the tower case etc, would the sp1 product key be compatible with xp sp2??

 

Yes that should be ok... I have done this for customers machines many times : )

 

thanks

tried it this weekend, worked a treat, xp is now running a lot faster now i reformatted and got rid of all the 'oem' junk programmes that came with my pc

 

No Problem : )
